     brand, too
• Never spam
   • Don’t post comments on blogs, seeds message boards or forums, or blasts
     press releases
• Authenticity is key
   • Authenticity lets you take advantage of your brand strength and commitment
     to listening to your customers
   • Don’t incentivize online influencers through payment or pressures them to
     write positive posts
• Give them something to talk about
   • Figure out what will resonate best with online influencers – and their readers
   • If no assets exist – create them!
